To all whom it may concern: i

i Be it knownthat I, JOHN N. GASSETT, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Laur in, in the county of Madison and State of Montana, have invented a 'new and useful Improvement in Bombs for Coyotes, of which ecification.

This invention re ates to bombs, and more particularly to bombs used for killing' wild animals, the 'object being to provide a bomb so constructed that it can be readily placed within a piece of meat, so that when the animal chews down on it he will think it is a kill him. Another object of my inveriton is to provide a bomb so constructed that it can be s readily carried from place to'place without' any danger of it ex loding accidentally. ,A still further ObJBCt of my invention is to provide a bomb which is waterproof, so that it can be left out in all kinds of weather without afiecting it.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of Construction hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims. In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view o my improved bomb. Fig. 2 s a perspective view of the block carrying the powder and ignit' material. Fig. 3 isa perspective view o the shell. Fig. 4 is a longitudnal sectional view of the coverin showing the bomb partly broken away. %g 5 is a transverse sectional view through the bomb. Fig. 6 is detail view of the covering, shownthe layer of sand Secured' on the inside.

eferr' to the drawin s, A indicates a block provided with a V-ha its side adapted to be filled with some highexplosive powder B. The corners of the of the welladapted to fit in a clay shell D, which is closed at its ends, so as to form a waterproof casing, so that the powder and igniting 'material will n'ot be afl ected by the weather. A

canvas covering E is Secured over the shell D, provided with alayer of sand on the inside, so that when the shell is broken by the animal chewing down on the same the canvas covering carrying the layer of sand will be brought into engagement with the igniting 'novel and efi ective bomb w ped groove n a material by the animal's teeth, which will gnite the same, causing the powder in the rooves of the block to explode, 'll the animal.

From the foregoin description it Will be readily seen that I ave rovided a very iiich can be readily sewed up in a piece of meat and thrown around on the ground and allowed to stand Without bein broken by the animal chewing down upon it.

Having thus fully 'described my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1 A bomb comprising explosive and igniting material adapted to be secured'in a shell inclosed by a flexible covering having an inner frictional surface.

2. A bomb comprising a block carrying explosive and igniting material adapted to be secured in a shell, and a covering Secured over said shell provided with an inner frictional surface. a

3. A bomb comprising a grooved v block carrying owder,ignitin material carried by said bloc and a' fiexiliie covering Secured over said block provided with a frictional inner surface, for the purpose described.

4. A bomb comprising a grooved block having powder arranged in said groove, igniting material Secured on the corners of the block, a shell Secured over said block and a covering provided with a fric'tional surface Secured over said shell, for the purpose set forth. v

'5. A bomb comprising a block carrying explosive owder and ignting material, a thin lastic s le covering provided with a frictional surface secured over said shell, for the purpose described.

6. A `bomb comprising a grooved block having powder arranged n said grooves, igniting material Secured on the corners of the block, a clay shell inclosing said block and a canvas covering Secured over said shell provided with a layer of sand on its under side, for the purpose described.
